The leak code suggests that Xai is developing Grok’s advanced file editor with Spreadsheet support, driven by companies to compete with Openai, Google and Microsoft by embedding AI Copilots into their productivity tools.
“You can talk to Grok and ask to help you while editing the file!” The reverse engineer writes Nimaouji, who leaked his discovery.
TechCrunch contacted Xai to review the findings and to find out more.
Xai has not explicitly detailed its strategies for pursuing an interactive multimodal AI workspace, but has dropped a series of announcements pointing to what the company thinks about these tools. In April 2025, Xai launched Grok Studio, a split screen workspace where you can collaborate with Grok on document, code, reports and browser game generation. It also launched the ability to create workspaces that allow you to organize files and conversations in a single location.
Openai and Microsoft have similar tools, but Google’s Gemini Workspace for Sheet, Docs and Gmail seem to be the most similar to what Xai reportedly is building. Our tools allow you to edit documents and sheets and chat with Gemini while viewing and editing documents. The difference is that the Gemini workspace only works within Google’s own ecosystem.
It’s not clear whether Xai’s editors can support other than spreadsheets, or whether Xai plans to build a complete productivity suite that can compete with Google Workspace or Microsoft 365.
If Owji’s findings apply, senior editors are a step towards Elon Musk’s ambition to turn X into “all apps” that include documents, chat, payments and social media.
